Audi’s principle of downsizing: “ Forced induction replaces displacement ” One twin-scroll turbocharger per cylinder bank compresses the fresh air. The thermal management system uses a ball valve to disconnect the water pump during the engine warm-up phase. At around 100 km/h (62.14 TFSI by more than 10%.
